Very helpful and informative. Would recommend anyone who is looking for a sewer line inspection. They were able to help me locate the main sewer line on a property we were inspecting and refer a list of plumbers that are able to help me install a sewer drain clean out at an affordable price. read more

Spoke with Melissa over the phone and Greg did the inspection- both were easy to work with, friendly, and patient with questions. Greg was on time and was very informative throughout the inspection with regard to what our pipes were made of, the condition of the pipes, any issues he foresaw, etc. The inspection report came with a video and both of these were sent to me promptly after the inspection, like same day or next day. Their report also came with a list of vetted contractors that they recommend, which is super helpful if you don't know anyone trustworthy to do any plumbing work you need. The company doesn't get kick back from providing this list, they just want to be helpful! I also called this company months after the inspection to get some plumbing advice and Melissa kindly gave me some possibilities on what might be causing the issue and helped me figure out how to get going on getting repairs done. Great customer service and quality work. Highly recommend!! read more

I have almost all of my plumbing work done by another plumber who I really like. As a matter of fact, I just had my normal plumber do a sewerline inspection at a different house so it was nice to be able to compare the two services. My normal plumber charged $600. It would have been another $100 to get a thumbdrive with the "before" and "after" video on it. When the "before" video showed that there were not many roots (almost zero), I was not given the choice of having them NOT do the hydrojetting and saving some money. So in summary... no permanent record (without spending $100) and then did a kind of unnecessary hydrojetting. It was not a rip-off... I will still use this plumber for most things and I understand that they had to bring the hydrojetter out which they would not have done if I only wanted a video inspection... but let me tell you how Williams Sewerline handled it at a different house two weeks later... First of all, Nick and Greg made it like I was in a plumbing commercial... smiles, personable, presentable, super-friendly and explaining everything every step of the way. They know positive reviews on Yelp and other platforms are needed these days so, guess what, they do everything possible to get good reviews... good work done at a competitive price with a good attitude. Secondly, here are the more-than-fair options they gave me: Send a camera-only technician out... $275 Or... Send the camera/hydrojet truck out and pay more for the camera-only inspection ($350 because they have to send the whole hydrojet package) but have the option for hydrojetting for another $200. (Camera "before", hydrojet, then camera "after"... $550.) As it turns out there was one teeny root and they actually recommended that I don't hydrojet... that hydrojetting is always a little disruptive and it would not be worth it for getting rid of some grime and cobwebs and one tiny root. (So, I paid $350 but the extra $75 gave me the option of hydrojetting right then and there if needed.) Also, they knew I was selling the house and that this sewerline inspection was something that prospective buyers might look at so when they did the "voiceover" (narration) for the video as they were using the camera, they would say things like "there's a little bit of root intrusion here but perfectly normal and better than I see in 98% of the inspections I do"... They were not lying for me just because I'm the one paying for the inspection, but putting it in context so that the buyer doesn't get freaked out unnecessarily. That video and narration, by the way, are then viewable on YouTube for many years. Back to my normal plumber... some people are excellent and honest plumbers (my guy is and so is his whole team) but their sewerline inspection service, when compared to William's... well it doesn't compare. It costs $50 more, they don't do the YouTube thing and, in fact want $100 to put it on a thumbdrive. William's Sewerline is probably not the cheapest... but they are reasonably-priced and the best I have worked with. Oh yeah... and it's great that they don't sell any other service (besides the hydrojetting) so it's really nice knowing they aren't trying to pitch work that isn't necessary. (Hell, they didn't even try to pitch the hydrojetting!) read more

I hired Williams for their expertise. When they missed critical info at the inspection, and problems started happening, this is what I experienced when I brought it to them. A month after I moved in, we were having issues. I didn't contact Williams because the report had reflected that line was old and would likely need replacing at some point, and Williams had stated they don't do any sewer work. We took some steps to correct the problems, and in doing so, reviewed Williams' inspection video and realized they had missed two significant problems at the time of inspection. When the issues started snowballing, my realtor advised we contact Williams. When we spoke to Jeremy, he never once asked me to describe my issue, or asked what he could do to make it right. He steamrolled us with jargon; deflected nearly all responsibility, even though he acknowledged that his inspector, Nick, did not call out or investigate an illegal storm drain connection to the sewer line; he took me off an email chain started by my agent, only to further bombard her with jargon, excuses and deflection; never provided us with requested documents; never followed up with us as he said he would. Glad everyone on this page had a good experience; to those who are currently looking for an inspector - hope they don't screw up your assessment. read more

I spoke with Melissa to schedule our appointment, and Tony was our sewer line inspector. Both were friendly and very helpful. The report Tony provided was detailed, and included a video of the interior of the sewer lines. His advice on how to proceed was also excellent. Highly recommended! read more

In the process of buying a home it's a good idea to get a sewer scan done! William sewer line inspectors was referred to me by my home inspector. So I gave them a call and Bronzon came out and did a sewer scan on two property's. he was early on both the days i had scheduled for the appointments. He was very professional and friendly. On both occasions he gave me an on site walk through of the sewer line and also provided me with a video to keep for my records. $275 was the price of the scan which I think it's a fair price. read more

I can only second what others have said about Nicholas from Williams Sewer Line. On time, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We bought a house with old Orangeburg pipe ... enough said. His detailed walk through with video was extremely helpful. He even provided the video to my Dropbox for future reference. In the end we choose to replace the whole line and I went back to him with questions about the best approach. Again, he took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly. His price is fair and he knows his stuff. I cannot recommend Nicholas enough. read more

Completely satisfied and have nothing but great things to say about the services rendered. Highly recommend.

Originally used them for sewer line inspection when we bought our house. Nick was extremely knowledgeable, prompt and informative. He provided a video of what he saw and eased any concerns I had. We recently used them again to hydrojet our sewer line, which had a lot of roots growing in. He again provided before and after videos. Taught me a great deal about maintenance and upgrades I could do. But he actually recommended against the upgrade in my situation. No up-sell. Very honest guy. Glad I found them. read more

Nick was great. After worrying about the sewer line in a newly purchased home, I finally called these guys. Not only did Nick go the extra mile for me, but it turns out the line is just fine. He showed me what I could do if I wanted to make it even better, and was very patient and explained everything in detail to this newbie homeowner. Plus you get a Youtube video of your sewer line and it's narrated. It's not something you would share with friends but it's fascinating. Don't call anyone else. Thanks! read more

I'm a Realtor and I've worked with Nick countless times. He's very kind, patient, thorough and honest. They don't do repairs so they aren't motivated to tell you that something needs to be fixed when it doesn't (which I've had happen with another company). He narrates the videos so you can understand what you're looking at and lets you know how to care for your particular line going forward (and they don't charge extra to provide you the video link). I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Hired them to do the sewer line inspection at a house I plan to buy and was impressed with the service. The sewer clean out was hidden somewhere in the yard so they were nice enough to go through the sewer vent pipe on the roof at no additional charge. They arrived on time and gave a lot of helpful feedback on the condition of the sewer line. The video of the sewer line was narrated with possible problems with the line and recommendations for fixes. They post the video online instead of burning a DVD. Its good that they only perform inspections so they don't try pushing services you don't need. They were also nice enough to locate the clean out valve, which was hidden behind some bushes in the yard. A written report was sent a few days later. Overall the sewer line inspection was totally worth the price, which was lower than other companies. read more

I can't speak highly enough about Williams Sewer Line Inspectors, and I urge anyone seeking an inspector to make sure they are using an independent inspector and not using someone who is also hoping to be a service provider. That should seem obvious, and it was to me going into the process, which is why we had contracted Williams Sewer Line Inspectors in the first place, but during the process I got roped into to using a plumber too (long story). Jeremy came out to inspect the sewer line at a property we were buying, and he couldn't complete the inspection because the clean-out was hidden in a part of the yard 15 feet from where the seller had believed it to be. Succumbing to pressures from other stakeholders in the buying process, I agreed to let a plumbing company come out and do the camera work for the inspection because they could come out the next day, and we were in a rush. They gave us a pretty pricey quote, and I called Jeremy for a referral to a second opinion, and he was able to view the camera work video and, not only did he give us a referral to another sewer repair, but he was able to save us a lot of wasted work and money for a very misleading quote. I only wish I had stuck to my guns and had Jeremy come back to two the inspection instead of the other company who clearly was just trying to make some money off of us. This is a trustworthy company. Oh, also--many of the other inspectors spoke to my real estate agent rather than me (sexist), and Jeremy always spoke directly to me and respectfully and didn't treat me like an idiot as some the other company did (know who your customer is, people, it's not the real estate agent, but the buyer!). Thanks, Jeremy, you're a gem! read more

Awesome people that know what they're doing. Had them do an inspection at one property and a follow-up hydro jetting. Brought them to my home where they found an issue with the sewer line and they recommended a quality resource who fixed the problem. Their reports with quality video gave me great info on my sewer lines and I will be having them back yearly to do the hydro jetting. I highly recommend this company. read more

I found this company on Yelp as a last solution try. We manage a large shopping center in Glendale and were running into potential legal issues with a tenant regarding repetitive clogged lines. We had called out 3 different plumbers, consulted with contractors, and even had our SVP get involved with the issues. Neither of which we could come to an agreement. Upon reaching out to Williams, they were very friendly and accommodating. They listened to my entire concern and were out at the property that week. Once payment was issued (which was a very reasonable amount for the job they did), they sent us a thorough report with pictures, recommendations, and solutions. They even attached a youtube video as the technician explains the video as he goes down the line. I would give these guys the highest rating as in all my years of working in this business, I have yet to come across any vendor that was this efficient, prompt, professional, and thorough. Thank you! read more

Thank you for many many years of excellent service, and more than 40 inspections that you've done for my home buyers. I appreciate your friendly, and yet, professional approach. It means a lot to me when you allow my buyers to ask for your advice. All of you at William Sewer Line Inspection are amazing, and I'm looking forward to many many more years of selling more houses and asking to come inspect the sewer line. I have and still will refer you to any home owner or agent that needs your services read more

Nicholas came out to do a sewer inspection and was on time, clean, and professional. I received a detailed report including a link to a video. I was very happy with their work. Thank you. read more

We were very impressed with Nick's inspection when we were going through our first home buying process. He did a very thorough job, found a sewer line crack, provided a video of the entire inspection, identified the expected remaining lifetime of our cast iron sewage pipes and the fact that our clean out wasn't accessible. He was very knowledgeable and professional and I would highly recommend him and this company to my friends. read more

I do real estate in LA and have been using them on dozens of transactions. Nick, Jeremy and Melissa have all been amazing to deal with and the level of professionalism and service is beyond 5 stars. Thanks for all the support you provide to my clients! read more

These guys' were not only flexible with what turned out to be a real pain in the butt escrow experience we were having but also professional, on time and friendly. I would use them when we are in escrow again as we ended up not closing on that particular house, which was a bummer but the inspection was very thorough and he also did us a huge favor and got us our report quickly! I thought the price was $219 but seems we paid $250 so that was a bit of a bummer, but he was nice about the 24 hour postponement for the following week due to us having issues with the seller and them meeting deadlines. I will use them again for sure! Thanks! read more

Don't use anyone else but these guys! Simply the best in the West! Professional, Knowledgeable, and Courteous. Bronzon was my inspector for a home I am in escrow with and explained everything in detail. I give them 10 stars and I am so glad I choose them. read more

Nick and team are wonderful! So professional, courteous, and took their time to explain everything to us. The narrated video, along with photos, were so helpful in understanding what problems exist, and what we'll need to fix in the future. They also sent recommendations of who to call when the time comes for repairs. Since they don't do the repairs themselves, there was no sales pitch and we feel we got an honest inspection. I know we can call them anytime with follow-up questions too. We will be recommending them to our friends who are starting the house search as well! read more

Nick is awesome! I have used him for all of my properties and will continue to do so. His reports are thorough with pictures and a detailed report. He even posts the inspection videos on YouTube so you can see them. Nick did our inspections last year and I can still see them online which has proven to be very helpful. For $250 you get a detailed written report with pictures and a narrated video of the inspection that is posted on YouTube. Thank you Nick! read more

I had Nick as my sewage inspector and he was extremely thorough, professional, and very knowledgable. I was able to book an appointment for the next day and after the inspection, got a report by that evening. The report included video clips of the camera used to inspect the sewer lines as well as a narrative. I've also had several questions that i asked him after the inspection was completed and he was very patient and provided me w/ good feedback. Even weeks after the inspection, I had emailed him w/ some questions and he was prompt in responding and was really good about it. I highly recommend Williams Sewer Line Inspectors for any sewer line inspections you may need. They definitely do a 5 star job and provide 5 star service. read more

Boy, have I lucked out when it comes to finding people to do inspections on the home I am trying to purchase! I can't say enough good things about my general home inspector, Aris Lopez of NCSI, and when he talks, I listen. He recommended a sewer line inspection and Yelp help me find the best company to perform it. Enter Williams Sewer Line Inspectors. Got in touch with Jeremy over the weekend and he was able to accommodate a Monday morning appointment. My realtor went out and met Nick, our inspector. In less than 12 hours, I received a comprehensive report and a YouTube video of the actual camera inspection. Rates were very reasonable and the e-mails from both Jeremy and Nick were prompt and professional. Thank you, Williams Sewer Line Inspectors, for making me feel comfortable in moving forward with my investment! read more

A great company to use for all you sewer inspection needs. William's is very knowledgable, detailed, and provides excellent unbiased information. Highly recommend! read more

This company came highly recommended from the house inspector we hired (Scotland Yard Home Inspections). I called and spoke with Jeremy and he was able to have someone out there at the same time as our home inspection 2 days later. Nick came out and was very professional and thorough. He spent a couple of hours there and made some very important recommendations that we wouldn't have discovered through a normal home inspection. The report was great along with a video of the sewer pipe from the house to the city line. They are worth every bit of 5 stars. Very happy we found them and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. read more

I've been using this company for every new job I start. They are efficient and timely. Every video scope is narrated by the technician. My clients love it and it saves me a huge potential headache down the line. Good job guys. read more

I had a very short time frame to do my inspections on a building I was trying to buy. Williams was able to accommodate me with an appointment the next morning. Nick Bylsma came out to do the job. He was extremely thorough. The building had no clean--out so he really went the extra mile to get the camera out to the street/city hook-up. The price is very reasonable. I will definitely use Williams Sewer Line Inspectors going forward and recommend them (and Nick) whole-heartedly. read more

What makes Williams so helpful is they provide an unbiased, high-tech look at a sewer line. My wife and I had Nick out to inspect our sewer line. He was courteous, punctual and he took the time to explain everything. Not only that, he was very thorough and when he left, we understood the sewer line on our new property. We found a blockage and he recommended another company come hydrojet. Nick came back for the follow up inspection and more of the same - courtesy, candor and we both feel we're so lucky to have found Williams. We'll definitely be using them again and recommending them to anyone who needs a sewer line inspection. read more

These guys are awesome, I had to use them twice in about 3 months, both times the came on time and produced the report very quickly and efficiently with lots of detail. Not only that, but they were happy to discuss the report in detail over the phone and give their opinion on work that was needed as well as rough estimated costs. This helps immensely when deciding on buying a home and I'm so glad I found them. There's nothing better than going into a huge deal (buying a home) and feeling that you are ale to make an informed calculated decision on how to proceed. Thanks to there report we were also able to get the sellers to agree to a substantial credit in the work needed. read more

think the person who came out was named Brandon. showed up on time, provided his honest opinion, and overall was incredibly helpful and courteous. I would definitely recommend this company for any sewer line inspection needs! read more

Highly recommend this company. I just went through the agony of building a house from scratch in Los Angeles. Jeremy inspected my sewer twice once at the beginning of the process and once at the end. He was punctual, efficient and communicative through out. He also saved my arse by managing to remove an inspection cap that another contractor had managed to get lodged in my sewer. ( all whilst the city inspector was in site ). With some ingenuity and a little luck he saved the day and we passed inspection. It could have been an expensive disaster. Top marks !!! read more

The $250 we spent saved us $5,000. We bought a house and were told the sewer line had just been replaced and lined, and were shown the receipts as proof. I needed to be SURE. Nick did our inspection and he showed up on time, was very thorough, very professional, and very articulate. The inspection is beyond the scope (pun) of what a general house inspector would find. He discovered a cracked sewer pipe, and saved us $5,000 and a lot of regret. read more

This guy knows his trade! Explained everything to me and gave me a detailed report before I purchased my house.. I felt confident buying the house with his report in my hand. I highly recommend this company to anyone who is going to buy a house and wants to know what is underneath your property. Money well spent and a job well done. Thank you. read more

Nick from Williams Sewer Line Inspectors did an incredible job. We had a "mystery" plumbing problem that had been causing us tremendous trouble for a long time--several plumbers were baffled, including one who ran a camera through the lines. They all had theories and estimates of well over $6000 to solve the problem. Nick came and located the main problem in minutes, then quickly found the contributing problems. He was on-time, professional and very knowledgeable. He emailed a thorough, extremely helpful report with video and a reasonable estimate which made it much easier to get the work done quickly and for much less than we had been told earlier. Their service was outstanding right from my initial call to them. HIGHLY recommend Williams. read more

I had Nick come out to inspect the sewer lines on a house we were in escrow on. I then had him come back to re-inspect a few weeks later when the requested work had not been - as I had guessed - completed by the seller! He was extremely helpful in explaining the situation with all of the old, cast iron lines. He gave tiered recommendations of high priority items and things that could probably be put off until later. And he answered all of my many, dumb questions! I'll definitely use him again next time I have a problem. read more

Nick searched high and low for an access point for an inspection while we were in escrow. He communicated everything he was doing and gave a clear description of what he was doing. It was really helpful. I will definitely call them again. read more

I would highly recommend Williams Sewer inspection for all your inspections. Very knowledgeable and great with clients.

We hired Sewer Line Inspectors to scope the sewer at a small house as part of our inspections during escrow. When I spoke with Jeremy on the phone he was polite and professional. Since he was on the road he asked me to use the booking system on their web site which worked great for me. Jeremy and his assistant showed up at the property on time. I found them to be polite, communicative, professional and experienced. They got right down to it and I was able to watch as they scoped the sewer line and listen to Jeremy record his detailed and very helpful voice over for the video inspection. He explained everything we saw on the monitor carefully and as a result I had a very solid understanding of the shape the sewer was in and what repairs were required. I felt that I can trust their inspection results because they only do inspections and weren't trying to sell me on repairs. The inspection took place in the late afternoon and they emailed me the inspection report as well as a youtube link to the recorded video before noon on the following day. I was very happy with Jeremy, his crew and the company as a whole and I would hire them again without hesitation for any future sewer inspection needs. Highly recommended! read more
